1) Since we have a sequence


u_1=3,u_2=6,u_3=12andu_4=24

3, 6 ,12, 24

We can notice that this is a Geometric Sequence with q= 2

2) Hence, to find the 20th term we have to use the explicit formula for that:


\begin{gathered} u_n=u_1q^(n-1) \\ u_(20)=3(2)^(19) \\ u_(20)=1,572,864 \end{gathered}

3) So the 20th term is 1,572,864
